“You cut off her head?!” The girl asked in shock.
“Well, yes. It was either; rip out her heart and stab it, but that always has the potential to backfire with evil magical beings, or cut off her head. With someone with that much magical power, those are the only options to kill them completely. They don’t drown, if their brain is still intact, they can heal themselves, so they can’t bleed to death or burn at the stake; or burn anywhere fotr that matter. The heart thing can backfire if they cast a precautionary spell to protect against that. For instance, she may have made it so whoever killed her physical heart would then bare her soul, and that may have kept her spirit alive and then she may have gained functionality through the host. And that could not happen, so I had to cut off her head.” He mused to himself” I suppose it has been a long time and not everyone knows the lore of magic anymore.” He looked back up at the girl. “Bromney was so mad, but he was a good wizard and could not kill me, so he turned me into a mouse. Now, I’ve got eternity to spend like this.”
